fairhsa: it's actually a viscious cycle

The more CX overprices the less inclined she is to go. "The money is not material" (to her) but she needs some persuading to leave HK these days <-- having a cheap airfare or a Asia Miles "free" redemption helps in her Hongkie mind.

If she doesn't go she sits around at home and broods. Particularly since dad's not here and I've finally left home.

I'm challenged to find local places she'll be inclined to find interesting (or simply not overcrowded/suffocating).
